There is now no need to download a PDF of the changes. The good thing about this is that this information can be copied and pasted (as per the VOSA thread).

These are the changes for the next two weekends. The respective timetable links have already been posted.

The following service is changing on 19 September:

699 Carnatic Halls – Liverpool University or Liverpool city centre run by Arriva
Monday to Friday daytime buses will only run between Carnatic Halls and Liverpool
University, so won’t serve Liverpool city centre. The times will be changed.

The following service is changing on 22 September:

22 Warrington - Vulcan Village run by Network Warrington
The Sunday service will finish earlier.

I do wonder whether there is a reason for the sudden change away from the pdf document .

Its just that for so long the service change has been in pdf format , its strange to move away from it .

The format they gone to for the latest sets of service changes just looks a backward step .

The 699 timetable is much better with the 10 minute service restored throughout the day. Running to the city centre during part, but not all, of the day at a reduced frequency always seemed a very strange move on Arriva's part. Both Greenbank and Carnatic Halls are close to the 86 route which I always used to use if I needed town during the day.

It's a lot better this way. The links to the new timetables are also included in the changes text. Looks more user friendly.

Printing it may do , but previously the pdf format prints it in a better format .

Merseytravel why change .

Interesting route, but you'd have thought they could have used a number other than 111 when they already have a Merseytravel route 111, admittedly with a different route but not all THAT far away!
